When you think of a car break-in, you might imagine a thief swiping valuables like cash, electronics, or GPS devices. But what if, instead, they were just after a sweet snack? That’s exactly what happened to a student at Kansas State University, who learned the hard way that leaving a chocolate bar in an open car could lead to unexpected trouble.
In a twist of fate, our protagonist, Alex Thompson, discovered that a mere 15 minutes of leaving his car unlocked was enough time for a hungry opportunist to swipe his beloved KitKat bar. It turns out his assumption that candy would be safe was utterly misguided. Thompson took to Twitter to share the hilarious outcome, posting a photo of the thief’s handwritten apology note, which read, “Saw Kit Kat in your cup holder. I love Kit Kats so I checked your door and it was unlocked. Did not take anything other than the Kit-Kat. I am sorry and hungry.”
Thompson, displaying admirable good humor about the whole situation, remarked, “At first, I was annoyed about my missing KitKat, but then I realized just how funny it was, and my irritation quickly turned to laughter.” And it seems his lightheartedness paid off—KitKat caught wind of the story and decided to send him some sweet replacements, making for a happy ending.
While the internet buzzed with sympathy, many users admitted they’d probably do the same if faced with an unattended KitKat. Ironically, this story surfaced just after my own unfortunate experience, where my car window was smashed and my purse stolen while I was at the gym. If only I had seen Thompson’s tweet earlier, I might’ve left a chocolate bar on the dashboard to divert attention from my designer bag instead of becoming a victim.
This amusing tale highlights the absurdity of the situation, but it also serves as a reminder that having your space invaded, no matter how trivial the loss, can feel quite violating. Let’s hope this doesn’t inspire others to rummage through strangers’ cars—because that feeling is far from funny. At least for Thompson, the incident ended on a sweet note. As I await repairs on my own vehicle, I’ll be content nibbling on KitKats from my kids’ Halloween stash for comfort. They may have taken my purse, but they’ll never take my candy.
